2INTRODUCTION
The Vocational Pathway Program (VPP) at Melville SHS supports students who wish to undertake a Vocational Path-
way and gives them access to Certificate courses at TAFE and Workplace Learning, whilst working towards achiev-
ing their West Australian Certificate of Education. The VPP Program is designed for students who are considering
making the transition into the workplace and/ or TAFE when they leave school. It can also provide a pathway for
students seeking to enter university via alternative access programs or competitive apprenticeships and trainee-
ships in their chosen field.
The VPP program allows students to study in a flexible learning program which involves attending three days of
school (Monday to Wednesday) and two days studying at a TAFE campus and/or Work Placement in their chosen
field or course. Students can apply to TAFE based upon their vocational interest and the program caters for each
student’s individual needs to provide a broad and engaging base for further studies/employment.

3Vocational Qualifications
The VPP Program offered at Melville SHS includes Nationally Accredited qualifications, where students success-
fully complete requirements and develop relevant industry skills with pathways to employment and/or further
education and training, including traineeships and apprenticeships.
All students in the VPP Program are enrolled in a vocational qualification. Unless enrolled in a two day TAFE pro-
gram, all students are required to complete at least 2 units of Workplace Learning with a host employer.
All our qualifications are quality assured by a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) with the majority of courses
being delivered at either South Metropolitan or North Metropolitan TAFE, however, specific qualifications can be
accessed through additional Private Training Provider’s.
Students in the VPP Program have the opportunity to access qualifications in the following industry areas:
Animal Studies Hairdressing
Automotive – Electrical, Heavy Vehicle and Light Vehicle Hospitality
Aviation Information, Digital Media & Technology
Business Music
Childcare Plumbing
Community Services Retail, Make-up and Skin Care
Construction – Bricklaying; Carpentry and Joinery Sampling and Measurement
Education Support Surveying
Engineering Sport and Fitness
Electrotechnology Tourism and Events
Health and Nursing
See the Qualifications Offerings on page 13 for a full list of qualifications that students opting for the VPP Program
in 2022 are eligible to select from.
VPP Program pathways provide students with the opportunity to continue their education and training post- school
and can lead to the achievement of higher level qualifications such as Certificate III and IV or eventual university
entry.
Unique Student Identifier (USI)
Applying for a USI is compulsory for all students enrolled in qualifications, being delivered at Melville Senior High
School or an external RTO. Only applications with a USI will be accepted for the Vocational Pathways Program.
Please see the USI Application Information sheet on page 12 for more information on how to create a USI.
Workplace Learning
Workplace Learning forms a key part of the VPP Program, providing students requirements opportunities to de-
velop a realistic understanding of the working world, including learning about employer expectations, devel-
oping employability skills, exploring career options and taking part in activities to increase self-understanding,
maturity, independence and confidence.
As Workplace Learning is an Endorsed Program, VPP students can use it to contribute towards meeting their
WACE requirements. Every 55 hours of workplace learning students complete, equates to 1 WACE point. Com-
pleting 220 hours of workplace learning allows a student to achieve a maximum of 4 WACE units. Students are
expected to be committed to attending work placement each week and completion of the Workplace Learning
Log Book and Skills Journal is an important requirement of the WPL program.
Students that are not on a SBT or required to complete mandatory hours in the PAiS pathway, will be required
to complete unpaid work experience with a host employer in their chosen industry. Students will liaise with Ms
Louise Browne to find a work placement that explores potential career opportunities post school or compliments
their chosen TAFE qualification.
4Depending on their qualification students in the VPP Program will complete their workplace learning through one
of the following pathways:
Pre-Apprenticeship in Schools (PAiS) Mandatory Placement
Pre-apprenticeships in schools are Certificate II programs that have been nominated by Western Australian indus-
try training councils as valid pathways from school to a traditional trade apprenticeship.
Students in Years 11 and 12 attend school, attend at a registered training organisation and are linked to an em-
ployer for work placement. Students must complete mandatory hours of on the job work placement with an em-
ployer in their relevant industry area.
School Based Traineeships (SBT) & Aboriginal School Based Training (ASBT)
School-based traineeships (SBTs) provide an opportunity for students to work with an employer and train in a
qualification while they are still at school. SBT qualifications are mostly at certificate II and III level, with students
completing some of their training at a registered training organisation (RTO) such as a TAFE or private training
provider and some at work. The benefits of a SBT is that students are paid for the time they spend working and can
gain additional credits towards their WACE upon completion, while opening pathways to future study or jobs. The
VPP Program currently has 9 ASBTS and SBT’s with South Metropolitan Youth Link (SMYL) in a variety of qualifica-
tions. ASBT’s/SBT’s offer great flexibility to students and can be built around industry areas such as engineering,
childcare, business, horticulture, community services, hairdressing and building and construction.
SBT’s for VPP program students are organised by the schools Workplace Learning Coordinator, Ms Louise Browne,
who will work with students to identify traineeships that are relevant to their chosen industry or target student
interests for future career pathways post schooling.
A list of SBT’s and the associated workplaces that former students have completed SBT’s at are listed below.

6Applying for Vocational Education & Training in Schools (VETiS) Qualifications
Please note that a place in the VPP Program is dependent on an offer being made by TAFE to students who sub-
mitted an Expression of Interest in Stage 1.
VETiS (Vocational Education & Training in Schools) program places are extremely competitive, therefore it is rec-
ommended that students provide as much evidence as possible to support their application. Qualifications within
this program are government funded and students do not pay course fees, however, students are required to pay

Summarised below is the key information that students must have ready when submitting an application to TAFE:
• Western Australian School Number (WASN)
• A Unique Student Identifier (USI)
• Year 9 & 10 School Reports
• Resume, references and certificates
• A student statement outlining why they should be selected to participate in the course. (Limited to 500 words).
Students who are successful in reaching this stage are encouraged to access the support from the VET staff in

North Metropolitan TAFE RTO code 52786
South Metropolitan TAFE RTO code 52787
The Electrical and Communications Association of Western Australia Inc RTO Code 2394
Industry Training and Workplace Services Pty Ltd RTO Code 51655
7Fee For Service Qualifications
As a means of providing a greater range of options, VPP students can access a range of Fee for Service qualifica-
tions. These qualifications are delivered by external Registered Training Organisations (RTO’s), who require the
full amount of the qualification to be paid prior to a student commencing. Qualifications are progressive, with
students traditionally completing a Certificate III in Year 11 followed by a Certificate IV in Year 12. By completing
a Certificate IV, students can pursue opportunities to access alternative pathways to university or enter into paid
work upon completion.
Fee for Service qualifications can be completed by students in the Vocational Pathways Program (VPP), as well as
students on a mainstream timetable. Due to the significant workload and degree of difficulty, access to Fee for
Service qualifications are conditional to a student meeting both school and RTO prerequisites and require school
approval before enrolment can commence.
When combined with an ATAR English course, completion of the Certificate III qualification (in Year 11) and Cer-
tificate IV qualification (in Year 12) allows students to explore alternative entry into a range of undergraduate uni-
versity courses with acknowledgement of a notional ATAR rank of 70.
NOTE: As entrance requirements differ between universities and vary from year to year. Students interested in this
pathway will need to contact the relevant universities, Futures Team, to discuss pathways available specific to their
situation.

11HOW TO CREATE YOUR
UNIQUE STUDENT IDENTIFIER
To create a USI go to www.usi.gov.au and click on ‘Create USI’.
You will need to have a form of identification, such as:
• Family Medicare card (Probably the best/easiest to use)
• Australian Passport
• Australian Birth Certificate
• Citizen Certificate
• Learners’ Permit
(or one of other forms of ID as listed on the website) to complete the USI process.
• International students can use amongst others, Passport (with Australian Visa), Medicare Card, Drivers Li-
cence.
If you cannot bring the original form of identification to school, then please take a photo on your iPad or phone
so that you are able to clearly see the details and the colour of your card. This information will be used to com-
plete your USI application.
Some points to note when undertaking this process are:
• In the Personal Details section write your name as it is shown on your ID – usually first and surname only.
• In the Contact Details section choose the preferred contact method (email, telephone or postal address) that
is likely to be used in the long term future.
• When creating your USI, you will be asked to create a password. Please make sure you will remember your
password. Your email address and the password will be required to log into your USI account in the future.
• In the Identification Details section, write your name as it appears on the chosen form of identification (i.e.
with initials etc).
The USI will be used by registered training organisations (RTO) to add training records and results when a unit of
competency and course is completed. It facilitates the maintenance of training records and results in an online
account that can be accessed by individuals to gain information useful for future employment and study require-
ments.
It is important that you make a note of your USI and record it in several different places for future access. Please
note that the school is not responsible for keeping a record of an individual’s USI.
Please email your USI to andrea.kirkby@education.wa.edu.au making sure the USI has 10 letters and/or num-
bers.
Write your USI below and keep it on file at home for future reference. Please be careful and print very clearly, so
it is clear that the letter is Z and not the number 2 for example.
Print clearly your name including your surname. _____________________________________
